cripple
Ruan Zhaozhao pulled Yu Xiaoye out of the street and stopped at a secluded place.
The sweat on Yu Xiaoye's back was dried by the wind, and he felt calm, "Zhao Zhao..."
"Brother Xiaoye, those people are so annoying." Ruan Zhaozhao also stroked his chest gently.
Yu Xiaoye knew she was frightened. "Zhao Zhao, the people from Canghai Sect interrogated us without any reason. That old man is even more abominable. If you hadn't been smart, I'm afraid he would have attacked us—"
Ruan Zhaozhao: "Yeah, he really talks a lot."
Yu Xiaoye felt his brain stuck.
Ruan Zhaozhao immediately put the matter behind her and said, "I'm so hungry. Let's go first... eh?"
She stuck her head out from behind Yu Xiaoye.
Yu Xiaoye turned around and saw a lame man walking past outside the alley.
He was just a passerby. Yu Xiaoye retracted his gaze and suddenly remembered that Ruan Zhaozhao came from an aristocratic family, and the Canghai Sect had connections with the three major families. If he had been more cautious just now, could he have asked them about Zhaozhao's origins?
But those people were not easy to deal with at first glance. If they knew that I was from the Jueqing Sect...
When Yu Xiaoye's thoughts were in a mess, Ruan Zhaozhao suddenly grabbed his right hand.
Ruan Zhaozhao pulled him out of the alley and followed the lame man.
Yu Xiaoye was confused, "Zhao Zhao..."
Ruan Zhaozhao pointed at the lame man and said, "That's Third Senior Brother."
Yu Xiaoye was startled, and once again sized up the cripple's figure from a distance. Both his height and build were different. "H-how do you know that's Third Brother?"
Ruan Zhaozhao tilted his head, "Intuition."
A man walked past her with three lines of words on his head, which was really hard to ignore.
System: "He went in."
The lame man walked into a pharmacy.
Yu Xiaoye was still standing at the door, looking up at the plaque: "Yu Qing Tang."
Ruan Zhaozhao pulled him in and walked in with a swagger.
The lame man came in and walked straight to the counter, "Boss."
The shopkeeper was busy preparing medicine. He didn't even turn around when he heard the voice. He seemed to be quite familiar with the lame man. "Wait a moment."
The lame man was not in a hurry and waited by the counter.
Suddenly he noticed a pair of eyes staring straight at him.
He immediately looked over with displeasure, and was stunned after seeing clearly.
It turned out to be Ruan Zhaozhao and Yu Xiaoye.
Su Yuhan frowned. Why were the two of them here?
When the waiter saw that they were two children, he stepped forward to drive them away. However, Ruan Zhaozhao said something to him, and the waiter walked away again.
Afterwards, Ruan Zhaozhao pulled Yu Xiaoye to look at the names of the medicines on the cabinet.
Su Yuhan: "..."
Children are the strangest and I don’t understand them.
While waiting, a large group of people walked into Yuqing Hall.
Seeing them heading straight for the counter, Su Yuhan covered his clothes, lowered his head and shrank back.
A dozen pieces of clothing were crowded in front of him.
Someone thought he was in the way and pushed him, saying, "Who are you, you lame man? Get out of the way."
A cold light flashed across Su Yuhan's eyes.
Canghai Sect.
When he entered the city, he knew that a lot of "dirty things" had arrived.
But he didn't want to conflict with them right now.
The time has not come yet.
He quietly retreated to the side. He was about to quickly take away the herbs he had asked the shopkeeper to find, but a voice stopped him in his tracks.
"No disrespect."
Su Yuhan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the young man who was speaking.
The young man was dressed in purple, wearing a jade crown and pendants.
It was a face he would never forget.
The young man immediately noticed his gaze.
When their eyes were about to meet, Su Yuhan withdrew his gaze and hid behind a member of the Ling family with a hunched back.
At this moment, the shopkeeper handed a package to the clerk and said, "Give it to him."
When the waiter turned around, he bumped into the young man and said with horror: "Master, I'm sorry!"
Ling Jiuxiao looked at the waiter and said, "No problem."
The Ling family's children threw several heavy money bags on the counter and said, "Boss, do you have any rare medicinal herbs for sale in your pharmacy? We want them all."
The shopkeeper said, "Master, the rare medicinal herbs you mentioned are cordyceps and ginseng?"
"What are we going to do with this kind of stuff?" The Ling family member said disdainfully, "We have plenty of money anyway, just take it all."
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, "Master, you guys bought them even though you don't have any use for them. What about the people who need them..."
The Ling family member cursed, "Just take it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Do you want to offend the Dongzhou Ling family?"
Before he finished speaking, he screamed and hugged his broken right arm, "Elder..."
Having just been interrupted by the waiter, Ling Jiuxiao looked up again and saw that the entire pharmacy was crowded with members of the Ling family.
That gaze was long gone.
Feeling annoyed, and hearing the younger generation bullying others, he broke his arm in anger.
Everyone was so frightened by Ling Jiuxiao's sudden anger that they dared not breathe.
The punished member of the Ling family was sweating profusely and hanging on the counter.
Ling Jiuxiao stepped forward and crushed his patella with another foot. "I'm here, and you dare to bully me with your power? The rumors outside that 'the Ling family is arrogant and bullies the people and dominates the market' are not groundless. It's you, the useless ones, who are ruining the Ling family's reputation and prestige."
"Someone come."
He spoke, and for a moment no one dared to move. Someone reacted in time and came forward, "The elder has given orders."
Ling Jiuxiao pointed at the person on the ground and said, "Find out which branch of the family he is from. The elders in the family failed to discipline him strictly, and they will be punished together and dealt with according to the family rules."
Everyone couldn't help but shudder when they heard the "family rules".
Yu Xiaoye watched the whole process.
Of course he remembered this young man; he had just seen him in the private room.
Ruan Zhaozhao suddenly pulled him away from Yuqing Hall.
The two followed the two Ling family members into an alley. Yu Xiaoye saw them quickly catch up with the lame man and kick him in the calf, exclaiming, "Three--"
Ruan Zhaozhao covered his mouth and pushed him aside.
The two of them leaned over each other and looked inside.
After being kicked down, Su Yuhan hugged his calf, crying out in pain on the surface, but his eyes were actually full of calmness.
The bag in his arms rolled against the wall.
A member of the Ling family walked over, picked up the bundle, opened it, and threw it away in disgust. "It's just some cheap herbs, without any spiritual energy at all. Why make such a secret about it? And even let a waiter take it."
Another Ling family member kicked off Su Yuhan's headscarf with his toes. "He's just an ordinary lame man. Hey, lame man, why are you going to Yuqing Hall?"
Su Yuhan didn't say anything.
Yu Xiaoye was worried about Su Yuhan. Why didn’t the third senior brother fight back?
It was Ruan Zhaozhao who said "eh".
The system couldn't help but remind her, "His 'Karma Killing Value' has risen to eighty."
Ruan Zhaozhao: “I see.”
Even though she saw it, she didn't show any intention of doing anything.
Seeing that Su Yuhan didn't say anything, the Ling family member angrily said, "I'm asking you a question, and you're not only lame, but also deaf?!"
Seeing that he was about to attack, another person quickly stopped him, "Hold on, can't you see the miserable state Ling Ren just suffered? Do you also want to be punished by the elders and suffer the consequences?"
The Ling family disciple was still frightened and slowly put down his hand, saying aggrievedly, "I thought there was something good that I could bring to win credit."
"Let's go." His companion patted his shoulder and turned to Su Yuhan and said, "Lame man, don't tell anyone about what happened today, or you will lose your life."
Only after the two men left did Su Yuhan get up from the ground.
He picked up the bundle, rewrapped the herbs, and left without lingering for a moment.
Ruan Zhaozhao and Yu Xiaoye, who were hiding, looked at the empty alley.
Yu Xiaoye worriedly asked, "Zhao Zhao, is Third Senior Brother feeling unwell? Why did he let those two people go just now?"
Ruan Zhaozhao touched his chin and asked, "Did you really let him go?"
Yu Xiaoye was puzzled.
Not long after, the two found the old man drinking with old friends.
A few people heated up the food and ate it up in no time.
When they had eaten, it was getting dark. The old man said goodbye to his friends and sent the two children back to the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain.
Yu Xiaoye lit the memorial and pulled Ruan Zhaozhao back to the sect.
When he entered the mountain gate, he found a piece of paper stuck on the door. He took it down and looked at it. "A visiting card?"
Knowing that Ruan Zhaozhao was well-read, Yu Xiaoye showed the visiting card to her.
Ruan Zhaozhao: "It says here that someone from the Canghai Sect knocked on our door during the day, but no one opened it. If there are anyone from the Jueqing Sect, please go to Fengle Town to find them."
"No one would go." Yu Xiaoye got angry when he thought about what happened during the day and wanted to tear up the visiting card.
After thinking about it, he tucked the visiting card into his sleeve and gave it to Wenren Yi when he came back.
Wenren Yi said that he would handle the matter, and that the two of them would not be allowed to leave the mountain for more than a month.
That night, Ruan Zhaozhao slowly walked to Gong Ziyu's courtyard.
She stood there motionless, watching the crows fly out from the crooked tree in the yard and stand in rows on the courtyard wall.
One of them went weak in the knees when it saw her. It was the one she had thrown at it twice like a meteor hammer.
Ruan Zhaozhao beckoned at it, "Come here."
The "Meteor Hammer" crow spread its wings, lowered its head, and covered its head.
Ruan Zhaozhao threw a stone, "You all helped me carry Second Senior Brother last time, you did a great job. This is for you."
As he said this, he took out a bag of pastries from his arms.
The crows looked at each other.
It seems as if they are discussing: Did this little girl poison it?
Ruan Zhaozhao opened the oil paper and placed it on the ground.
"My father once said, 'He who knows the times is a hero,'" she said, pacing back and forth. "Everyone has seen the consequences of opposing me. As long as you work for me, you will have everything you want in the future, no matter how good it is!"
system:"……"
"After eating these snacks, you will all be my own crows from now on! I, Ruan Zhaozhao, the overlord of the Never-Sleeping City, will never treat my subordinates unfairly!" Ruan Zhaozhao patted his chest and said, "Anyone who wants to be my subordinate, come and eat. There are snacks every day, eat every day!"
The system wondered, "Does she really think this method can tame a crow?" I heard it's a very vengeful and intelligent bird...
"Gah!"
The first crow moved and took a symbolic peck of the snack.
Delicious, not dead!
Its eyes lit up and it began to peck at the food happily.
When the other crows saw that it was still alive and knew that the snack was not poisonous, they pounced on it and ate it.
After a while the crows dispersed, leaving behind a small amount of debris.
The "Meteor Hammer" crow looked around leisurely, pretending that he had already eaten.
Ruan Zhaozhao didn't let it go, "You're the only one missing. If you don't eat, do you want to go to heaven again?"
Before he could finish his words, a flock of crows crashed onto the oil paper and pecked at the remaining crumbs.
"Very good, very good." Ruan Zhaozhao applauded. "Now that everyone is full, let's get back to work!"
Crows: “……?”
